Chapter 6- Friends
A/N: Sorry it took so long to post....I was making decisions...re typing, typing, yada yada yada.... OK..HERES WHATS UP: I wrote two versions. This one...which is part of this series (part two is under my name). I will also post the alternative where they are "together". Please review!!!
"Sara! Sara wait!" Gil Grissom ran from the gates of the tilt-a- whirl, chasing the woman that he had just kissed. Sara kept walking, though she slowed to a brisk walk. As Grissom caught up to her he grabbed her arm. "Sara please. We have to talk about what just happened." Sara felt a tear run down her cheek. "Sara I'm so sorry."
"That's what I was afraid of." She mumbled. Grissom barely heard the comment. Barely.
"What?" Grissom stared at her, waiting for an explanation. She shook her head and kept walking.
"Never mind." When she got to the car she stopped and turned around. "Good night Dr. Grissom." As she was about to close her door a strong hand held it open.
"Sara." He said, strictly. He sighed and added, "We have to talk. We can't just act like this never happened." Sara brushed away the tears that had collected on her cheeks.
"Fine. Where?" Grissom paused for a moment.
"The Coffee Cup?" he offered
"Ok." He shut her door and walked over to his car, got in and waited for her to pull out.
Grissom walked to the door and gently opened it. It was a quiet little place and he didn't want to disturb anyone. He didn't see her jeep, so he decided to go inside.
Five minutes later she still wasn't there. He decided to wait a little longer, so he ordered a cup of coffee.
15 minutes had passed and she was still MIA. He paid for his coffee and left for the only place he could think she would be.
Grissom pulled up to the college and stopped the car. He ran up the stairs as fast as he could without making a big noise. As he neared the familiar classroom he slowed down. He heard a noise, and suspected it was Sara.
As he opened the door he saw her. Curled up on the floor, was Sara, tear-stained copy of "Pride and Prejudice" in her lap. She looked up at Grissom and then back down, ashamed for leaving without letting him know. He didn't say anything as he went to turn on the light. Grissom crouched down and lifted her chin with his finger. "Hey." She looked up and then back down. He continued to try to get her attention, but gave up. Instead, he sat down in front of her. "I am so sorry," she sniffled. "That I hurt and upset you. I am so sorry there is such a big age difference. I am so sorry if I led you on. But," Sara looked up, her eyes filled with tears. "I am not sorry I kissed you." Sara showed a weak smile.
"Really?" he smiled, glad that he had cheered her up.
"Really. But you're my student. You're 19."
"I'll be twenty in 3 weeks." She smiled, trying to lighten the situation.
"Sara, I'm 15 years older than you. And as much as I want this, there will always be reasons. Please tell me that you're ok." She smiled.
"I'm ok. Um...I know what you're saying, but does that mean I have to socialize with people like Dana?" Grissom let out a small laugh. He got up and extended her hand to help her up.
"No, because we're still friends." She smiled "Nothing will ever change that. Anytime you need to talk to someone about bugs or entomology...you know who to call." He smiled, as did she, and she were content with that answer. For now.
A/N: I set the ending up for the sequel obviously. Leave a review so I can do my sequel. It will die with less than 15 reviews. Thanks!
